- Abstract: Rebecca Sandefur, professor of sociology and law at Arizona State University, is considered one of the most important references in studies on access to justice in current American socio-legal literature. Graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, the birthplace of the Law and Society, Rebecca - or Becky, as she is called - received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, studying the social organization of legal careers. She worked for almost ten years with the Department of Sociology at Stanford University and became an associate professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At the same time, she became a faculty fellow with the American Bar Foundation, where she developed a very fruitful line of investigation into access to justice, culminating with the outstanding Fellowship of the MacArthur Foundation in 2018, an award given to people with extraordinary work in different areas - from the arts and sciences to professionals in general - but rare among scholars of the theme of access to justice. Her work stands out for her creative and keen eye that, aimed at old and poorly resolved problems of law and society, reaches unthinkable and timely solutions. As for the topic of access to justice, litigation and legal professions, it is worth mentioning the following articles she published: "Access to civil justice and race, class, and gender inequality" (2018), "Expanding the empirical study of access to justice" (2013, with Catherine Albiston), "The clinic effect" (2009, with Jeffrey Selbin), "Fulcrum point of equal access to justice: legal and nonlegal institutions of remedy" (2008), "Lawyers’ pro bono service and American-style civil legal assistance" (2007), in addition to "A paradigm for social capital" (1998, with Edward Laumann),the co-authored "Urban lawyers framework: the new social structure of the bar" (with John Heinz, Robert Nelson and Edward Laumann, 2005) and the partnership in "Paths partnership to justice: a past, present and future roadmap" (2013, with Pascoe Pleasance and Nigel Balmer). As if that were not enough, Rebecca has a contagious sense of humor, as this interview also reveals, in which she talks about her career, research and challenges related to access to justice. Good reading!
